[Souji's been practicing the whole second level thing. Seems like as good a time as any to pose an open question to the rest of Meridian's residents.]

Does anyone know how many of us are here, now? That is ... is anyone keeping any sort of record of our arrivals?

[Good morning, citizens of Meridian! How was your morning so far? Good? Fantastic ( Read more... )

Is this thing on…?

Um, hi. I hope I’m not interrupting or anything, but I’ve taken a look around, and I’m pretty sure I’m not in New York anymore. I mean, I could be wrong, but I don’t think there’s anything in the city that looks like what I’m looking at right now.

[Even the most stable of people couldn't be expected to handle what Gamzee's had to deal with for the past few weeks and come out of it calm and sane, and Gamzee has never been really anchored in reality as it is. A few days of being chased by wraiths, finding out he'd attacked his moirail and hurt him badly, and then a week of being terrorized by ( Read more... )

[Terezi is not very happy that the only explanation she gets for another three days of hallucinations is a blank note. That's it? That's all she gets. That's the shittiest clue ever ( Read more... )

[John is entering the city from the forest with Casey glubbing alongside him, leaves and twigs in his hair, scrapes on his palms, and more scrapes on his knees underneath his fancy suit.

[Oh, look, there's a frustrated Eridan.

A frustrated Eridan who is currently trying to hide a pile with his regal, purple cape. Wait, are those --

Is this a fuckin' joke? Why isn't my sylladex workin'...

[Also, he's holding his Ahab's ( Read more... )

He tries hard not to panic.]Beckett? ... ( Read more... )

[Karkat is standing on the sidewalk, leaning against a wall, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. It wasn't entirely unbelievable; so much had happened to him and his crew lately that this was just another wrench in the plan, as far as he saw it ( Read more... )

[Whether you were on the east or west side of the city doesn't matter. This particular resident can be found on the Second Level-- where anyone can hear him.]

So it is true, huh...? There's people here now...

[A shake of his head, his whole demeanor changing now, as he smiles sheepishly.]I hear some of you guys got to talk to Sola. She's pretty ( Read more... )
